A country with a turbulent history, both ancient and modern, has become a top destination for summer tourism. Nestled on the Adriatic sea, with thousands of beaches and an uncountable number of islands, it has made a niche for itself in the same way many tropical islands make themselves holiday destinations. My knowledge of Croatia prior to going was not great; I knew it was Romanic, I knew that Austria had caused a lot of damage in the 1st world war and more recently, I remember watching the Bosnian war unfold on the TV; wreaking the kind of havoc that only a civil war can. But as an adult, I know countless people that have gone there to enjoy the sun, sights and culture. From the 26th of July until the 4th of August, Mia and I went to experience Hrvatska for ourselves.
